I think a lot of this could be solved by just marketing action figures to girls, though. I don’t think there’s any resistance on girls’ part to actually playing with or buying action figures, but the company’s message is so strongly aimed at boys that girls are turned off. TBH, the “doll market” tends to be slightly…

But studies have shown that preteen girls are FAR more likely to purchase merchandise (of all kinds, including action figures) than preteen boys. And given that there’s almost no Widow merchandise out there already, how could they possible have accurate sales figures on the character?

I never said that we should ignore people doing illegal things. But in this case, the punishment she would have faced was way too extreme. I don’t believe its moral or just to use excessive punishment on a non-violent, minor offender just because those are the laws in place. In this particular instance, it was better…

Yes, because there’s quite a few “illegal” things and most of them don’t make one an awful human being. Teenagers make mistakes. Punishing them for them for literally the rest of their lives is absurd.

WOW.

Given that there’s so much evidence she disappeared of her own will (keys and wallet taken, sightings some miles away, such a short window for her to have left) it doesn’t seem probable. Then again, you never know.

The second one, yes.

Man, I LOVE Pacifica’s perfume (they’ve got the only lemon one I’ve found that’s not cleaning-product-y or cloying for under $50) but all their makeup is terrible. Makes no sense to me.

A lack of self awareness doesn’t necessarily equal a mental issue though, especially since this sort of Nice Guy is super common.

Naw, just an ass.

Not to me, at least. I like his innovation, but when he crosses into nonsensicality I lose all interest. He’s not my favorite over all though, so I might be biased.

She’s tweeting her commentary, not the actual novel.

Any brands you recommend?

Yes, it’s about how much foam there is compared to milk. A latte has a little bit of soft foam. A cappuccino has a good amount of stiff foam. A dry cappuccino has more foam.

Yes...and the debate was, again, about reducing sentencing for all non-violent offenders, including men. I realize men suffer in prison too. My comment was about the particular ways prison affects women, who are more likely to suffer harassment from authority figures in prison and more likely to report symptoms of…

Especially with the inconsistent schedule this season. Has it even aired two weeks in a row this spring?

DON'T YOU DISPARAGE MY CONEY ISLANDS.

Okay, but when was the last time any catering food included whole peppercorns?

Okay, if your child is autistic and you give in to their desire to only eat one food their entire lives, that is child abuse and a complete failure of parenting. Seriously. Autistic children may have odd preferences, but they’re not incapable of learning, or of knowing what is polite to ask for and not ask for, unless…

I’ll up you one: my father hasn’t eaten fruit since he was six years old (including “technically fruits” like uncooked tomatoes), and neither he nor his parents nor anyone else can even remember the reason anymore. He just doesn’t eat fruit. At this point I don’t even think he knows what fruit tastes at all.
